Gallery Opening: Portraits, by Kyle Thompson

Join us at ADX on Friday, April 3rd from 5–9pm for the opening reception of Portraits, a new exhibition of paintings by Kyle Thompson. This collection explores the human figure through a series of striking portrait works that blur the boundaries between realism and abstraction.

Working across painting and drawing, Thompson builds layered surfaces rich with texture and expressive color. His portraits distort and reconfigure the human form, moving between the biologically familiar and the surreal. Through this visual language, the work reflects the fluidity of identity and the shifting emotional and psychological landscapes that shape our experience of being human.

Portraits invites viewers to linger in these altered states of recognition where faces and bodies feel both known and transformed and to consider the ways our inner worlds shape the forms we present outwardly.

Join us for the opening show and music from VHS Ghost, Colectivo Cenzias, and Collar De Lunas.
